It was only a matter of time before "The Hunger Games" was finally knocked out of the top spot of the box office charts and that's exactly what happened this weekend, as the Kevin Hart romcom "Think Like A Man" ended Katniss Everdeen's four week reign.

War is hell, but sometimes it can inspire quite the uplifting, whimsical fable — and the accompanying red carpet photo op.
